Former Prime Minister Sir John Major has criticized the previous Conservative government's Rwanda deportation scheme as 'un-Conservative, un-British, un-Christian, and unconscionable', arguing it is not suitable for the 21st century. He expressed frustration over society's negative perception of immigration and questioned the policy's effectiveness as a deterrent. Major acknowledged the Labour Party's decision to redirect funds from the scrapped Rwanda plan to the Border Security Command. He also commented on the Conservative Party's heavy loss in the recent election, suggesting the party should appeal to the center-right and warning against a merger with Reform UK. Major has yet to decide which candidate to support in the upcoming Tory leadership contest.
